STATEN ISLAND, NY — The old legend: “Hundreds of years ago, the people of a village clash violently with a dragon. They appeal to patron Saint George to help solve the conflict. He slays the Dragon.”

Sounds like something out of an episode of “Games and Thrones,” right? Alas, this grisly tale was immortalized in myth.

Until, that is, a group of eco-concscious North Shore residents decided it was high time to reinvent the outdated concepts of “overpowering and violence” with new models of “cooperation and problem-solving, human ingenuity and design science, bringing creativity to difficult situations.”

So was a new, official legend: “St. George helps the people and the dragon learn to hear each other and work things out peacefully, ultimately becoming allies who enrich each others lives. Most conflicts (especially ones involving limited resources) can be solved if we can learn to listen respectfully, and use less, sharing what there is.”

The borough’s annual commemoration of Earth Day and sustainable living marks its 7th anniversary Saturday from noon-8 p.m. on five stages in Tompkinsville Park and its surrounding streets.

“Each year, the festival gets bigger and more diverse, with an unusual ability to bring together the broad range of people living on Staten Island,” says Jennifer Lytton, one of the organizers. “Our goal is to bring people together to share ideas, art and culture and promote community pride by displaying the rich creative and natural resources of the Island.”

Here’s a rundown of the sprawling schedule:
